More excellent 'observer-participancy' Karen, Was very much thinking of you as the eye of storm Milton took aim at Sarasota, and relieved to get your report from the storm-front that you and your mum were safe. Your theme 'The Eye of the Storm' struck another strong chord for myself:
"(Remembering) the first principle of radical relationality. Nature isn’t “out there” — we are nature. We are entangled and have a responsibility, both for nature and as nature." This chimes with my integral ecology perspective, and its nuancing of nature, Nature and NATURE.
"that we can be both literally and figuratively in the eye of the storm".... "Figuratively, to be in the eye of the storm refers to being deeply involved in a difficult or controversial situation that affects or is of interest to many people" This has me recalling my own play of The Eye of the Storm, namely 'The 'I' in the Storm".
"Our power and strength lie in collective action, which cannot be separated from individual action".... "Imagine if/when we align our diverse and context-specific actions in the same direction, towards a world where all life thrives"... "contributing to a surge that is not always visible in the eye of the storm". This seem sto resonate with a call I made at the end of a comparative book review in 2009 - for 'a storm of world-centric awareness':
This indicates the particular comments that were resonating for myself... I thought I'd 'lost' them before I posted - but lo and behold here they are! Cheerrrrrrs! Ian W
It makes passing reference to The 'I' of the Storm, and ends with a call for a storm of world-centric awareness. I found several resonances in your own remarks, in your excellent 'observer-participancy'!
